sure
depending on how its done
there is an argument to be made that the USSR was overcentralised and in future we should have more regional autonomy
totally centralized system under a party like the soviets is setting yourself up for failure though
well the economy of the USSR was incredibly successful
industrialised rapidly
and great improvements in conditions
no, quite the opposite, it only grew during 1930s-40s due to great transfer of machine tools and enforced labor for mass infrastructure projects like the canal
meant to post just this image but i'll leave the article anyway

as you can see here the USSR growth was better than USA
even more so during the 30s concerning the US companies selling out product
Maddison project also gives greece the same gdp as great britain
i wouldnt trust it unless they come out with a proper published article is a good journal
what about the highway
this is what i was referencing to forced labor and machine tools import
basically they just traded their human capital and land resources for imports of machine production
i don't see how
and created the infrastructure that supported their entire system through means we would deem unreasonable
how not?
read the links i posted
they built up the industrial sector through planning
they planned for imports
did you actually think they launched an industrial revolution that was purely native?
i mean sure some gulag labor was used but the vast majority would have been regular labor
their machine production was shipped from foreign countries
especially the US
the industrialization that they saw was nothing more than a product of them importing machine production, relocating labor and building mass infrastructure through immoral labor sources
the fall that they start seeing is when the source of those imports drop due to onset of the cold war
